"Sumfin"???
Rub the two prey items together. Even get a drop of skink urine onto the pinky if you can.
I would advise that any skink you use be dead. Skinks can prove difficult to suffocate at times and the snake usually ends up eating it live...which can lead to bigger problems.

only use live as a last resort, put the thawed pinkie in a jar with skinks and that will scent it

why do people always use the "but its nature" comment. NO ITS NOT NATURE!! if it was nature the snake would be in the cage, if you be in the wild

yes, they will accept it, doesnt make it good. Most if not all wild skinks and frogs will have parasites, you dont wanna give them to your snake, also feeding them skinks can make them even herder to get onto rodents
